    Amazing experience! I took my boyfriend here for his 30th birthday last night and booked an igloo, not knowing exactly what to expect since I had only discovered this place through TikTok’s glowing reviews. From the moment we arrived, the aesthetic gave off major Little Italy vibes—charming, cozy, and rustic, which is exactly our style. Not to mention we were greeted with smiling faces when we first walked it! Everyone was so nice, and friendly which made it so welcoming off the bat. The igloo itself was incredible—beautifully lit, spacious enough to fit up to 10 people, and provided the perfect level of privacy. Our server was exceptionally attentive and sweet, making the experience even more special. And the food? Absolutely out of this world! The portions were huge, and every bite was delicious. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be back

    Wow, this absolutely made my day! Thank you so much for choosing Pietro’s to celebrate such a special milestone. I love that you found us through TikTok and that the experience—from the cozy Little Italy vibes to the warm welcome and, of course, the food—lived up to the hype! Our igloos are one of my favorite parts of the restaurant, so it means a lot to hear that you loved yours. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to our team. Can’t wait to have you back for more amazing meals and memories! Best, Lauren

    From the moment we stepped into our private igloo, we were blown away! The ambiance was magical, the heaters kept us cozy even on a chilly night, and the service was absolutely top-notch. Our server was attentive, the food came out perfectly timed, and every dish was delicious. The portions were HUGE—we had so much leftover that we enjoyed a delicious lunch the next day! It truly felt like a special, one-of-a-kind dining experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Looking forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable night. Best, Lauren

    Love the igloo experience however, today was unseasonably hot and sunny. There is no screen for shade and half our table was blinded and sweating. We would have stayed longer for dessert since we were celebrating 2 birthdays, but it was too uncomfortable. Definitely book the igloos for nighttime, as they are lit up beautifully with decorations. We will come again just a different time of day!

    Dining in the outdoor igloo was a fun experience but some of my group were uncomfortable as it was a chilly night and the heater kept shutting off. Also, the acoustics in the igloo with little ones distracted from the experience. As far as food, we enjoyed the fried calamari and fried capellini apps, however, I did not enjoy the eggplant that I ordered it was drowning I sauce and had no mozzarella on the outside …. It didn’t appear rolatini and the eggplant was overdone. My husband who ordered the chicken parm said that the chicken cutlet was very dry. Our friend liked her pasta with broccoli rabe dish and the little ones enjoyed the pizza and fries, but as I mentioned the acoustics in the igloo with small children and in general is not good - I still have a headache the day after. On the positive side, service was very attentive and prompt.

    Felt a bit rushed. Brought food before we finished apps and no time to relax between ordering and eating. Food was ok nothing stood out.
